"A greenhouse for experimenting, 20x20 feet, was placed, in 1904, in front of the horticultural laboratory, as a gift of the Lord and Burnham Company."
"About 1889 two greenhouses, since torn down, placed side by side, extending north and south, northwest of the second botanical laboratory , were built by Professor Taft- as an experiment- one heated by hot water, the other by steam, to see which method was preferable." [1]
